They were amazing! My husband is a big fan of tacos any night, I ask him what he wants for dinner, he says tacos. I've only ever done beef but we are trying to eat healthier and cut out red meat so I tried these and oh my, I'm so glad I did. These will be added to my dinner menu! And would also be great for lunch. I used corn and multigrain tortillas. I would suggest cutting the pieces of chicken up then seasoning them. You get more seasoned chicken that way. But overall amazing recipe and dish! -
The seasoning of the chicken is perfect. I sliced a chicken breast and then stirred in the seasoning. And I stir-fried in a pan. We didn't really like the cabbage. Maybe lettuce would be better. Ranch dressing would have been a great addition. Thanks RedVinoGirl :) Made for New Kids on the Block tag game -

A very refreshing change from the usual overly-loaded, messy taco. These are clean, crisp from the cabbage and very good! You're right about the cabbage, it's a MUST! I followed this recipe exactly with the exception of using flour tortillas instead of corn. Great lunch today, this will be a regular! Made for New Kids on the Block tag game.

I love to try new recipes and often try so many new recipes that I forget about all the great ones I've already made. My focus in cooking is to cook healthy and lower in fat without compromising the taste of the food.
